[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1818636, member: 1129"] Well, let's see... I started off the day by continuing to miss the breakfast slot, although I showed up after everyone had left and enjoyed some blueberry french toast. Then went over to Games Plus. I just started on Warhammer 40K so decided I liked the Eldar. I've already got some miniatures, but discovered that the core book doesn't have a lot of Eldar stuff in it, so bought the two Eldar Codex books (Eldar and Craftworld), as well as a miniature or two and a card game, Once Upon A Time I think. Next up, the painting. The original figure wasn't in stock, but we got this nifty little dude who looks like a Van Helsing/Solomon Kane wannabe. It was fun painting with the two Johns and KnowtheToe. Learned some useful tricks in terms of glazing. However, learned also that I don't know if I have the actual patience to put into it. The results are fantastic, the time it takes is too much. I'm tempted to stick with simple drybrushing and inking for most of the figures and use this for certain villain and heroes and that's that. There was a lot of great snacks at the place too. One of 'em was some cake with more blueberry goodness. The Oberwieis milk was also a nice touch, as were the creme stuffed donuts that threatened to explode when you ate them. For prizes, man, there were a lot of 'em. I managed to snag myself a game of Car Wars, the card game. I find that as I get older, I enjoy gaming less due to jerks and time constraints, and card games, board games, and miniature games, more. Thumbs up from me. Now when's the next one? :D [/QUOTE]
